Paiste 18 Inch Color Sound 900
Medium Crash Cymbal in Blue

Medium-weight B8 bronze crash with vibrant coated finish and full-bodied attack

Overview

The Paiste 18 Inch Color Sound 900 Crash Cymbal in Blue combines the musical flexibility of the 900 Series with a bold visual finish made for players who want their cymbals to look as distinctive as they sound. Crafted from B8 bronze, this medium-weight crash delivers a lively response, full-bodied attack and medium sustain that fits a wide range of modern drumming styles. Its translucent color coating preserves the natural look of the grooves and hammer marks while adding striking stage presence.

Features

The 18 inch size gives this crash a strong balance of speed, power and musical spread. It responds with lively intensity under the stick, offering medium-low to loud volume depending on how hard it is played, making it useful for everything from controlled accents to bigger chorus and live-performance crashes.

The Color Sound 900 design is based on Paiste’s 900 Series cymbals, with a slightly drier character and shorter sustain than the standard finish. That makes the cymbal controlled enough for tighter musical settings while still delivering the punch and projection needed for rock, pop, worship, alternative and modern stage use.

Hand-trued edges, a hand-turned bell and a pneumatically and hand-hammered bow help create a complex, full-throated crash response. The color coating is specially formulated to resist cracking, chipping and peeling, giving drummers a practical way to coordinate cymbals with their kit, stage setup or visual style.
